alonewiththemoonamazing ferret soft sculpture. If I owned one I would be constantly doing double takes thinking some other ferret had snuck into the house. Ronan did the cutest thing last night; I was kneeling on the floor, and he crawled underneath me, curling up with his body between my ankles and his head sticking out between my knees. I felt like a mommy penguin. He's been very affectionate lately. He doesn't really like to be held for more than a few seconds, but he likes to lie down near us, almost like a little dog.
Worked on three pieces of music last night, two songs for Saturday and my Amira Jamal recital piece, which I am supposed to perform in class on Monday. I was pretty happy with everything. That was a particular relief in the case of the recital piece, because I don't think I'll have time to work on it again between now and then. I'm glad that I decided to do some work with double veils (for Saturday) so that I could finally get to know my veils. Gradually I am figuring out the tricks of dealing with them, esp. the importance of momentum. I didn't feel in class as though I was very good with them, but using one's own music choice makes a huge difference. During practices I've been letting the screw-ups happen and keeping on dancing so that I'll have practice in what to do if things go wrong, so that hopefully if anything does go haywire no one will be any the wiser.
Did Aziza's shimmy drill last night thinking that it would be exactly what my sore quads needed. Could barely walk when I was done, but I do feel much recovered today. Shake that soreness out!
Watched a few episodes of Samurai Champloo last night and I dreamed in its artwork. I can't remember what the dream was about, if it was really about anything, but I remember ever so vibrantly my surroundings.
It is ridiculous to have to wear earmuffs in April. Wednesday marked the fourth time that my poor hyacinth has put up shoots only to be clobbered by snow. Somehow it is still hanging in there!
